I have a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Project Management, and a Certified Reliability Leader® credential that demonstrate my technical and leadership skills in this challenging and continuous improvement environment.With over nine years of experience at Schreiber Foods, and nine years in various engineering roles at Chiquita/Fresh Express I have developed and executed capital projects, maintenance management systems, training platforms, and proven practices that have generated sustainable savings, increased uptime, reduced costs, and enhanced synergy across cross-functional teams. I have also applied my engineering background and knowledge of food and beverage manufacturing to ensure the highest standards of safety, quality, sanitation, and regulatory compliance. I enjoy impacting results and developing others in the dairy, beverage, and fresh produce industries.
